In its literal use, it does necessarily mean that there are two or more competing parties seeking control of the area - so yes, it does necessarily mean that at least one claimant is denied his claim to the property. But you were not even using the word in that sense, rather only the word "captured" as it stood alone. So I'll ask you once again: Who did they capture it from? Or put another way, who asserted the competing claim?
